Psalm 6For the Chief Musician; on stringed instruments, set to the Sheminith. A Psalm of David.61O Jehovah, rebuke me not in thine anger, Neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure.2Have mercy upon me, O Jehovah; for I am withered away: O Jehovah, heal me; for my bones are troubled.3My soul also is sore troubled: And thou, O Jehovah, how long?4Return, O Jehovah, deliver my soul: Save me for thy lovingkindness’ sake.5For in death there is no remembrance of thee: In Sheol who shall give thee thanks?6I am weary with my groaning; Every night make I my bed to swim;I water my couch with my tears.7Mine eye wasteth away because of grief; It waxeth old because of all mine adversaries.8Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity; For Jehovah hath heard the voice of my weeping.9Jehovah hath heard my supplication; Jehovah will receive my prayer. 10All mine enemies shall be put to shame and sore troubled: They shall turn back, they shall be put to shame suddenly.
